Capalaba Race 5

Swoosh Finance

Prize Money: $2,700

DARK DISTANCE (1) took the sit on the lead from an outside box but levelled up and drew clear to score (20.04) at this track in Mix 5 over 366m. Looks the one to beat. OUT THE BOTTLE (5) put in a much better performance last start when in the placings at this track behind DARK DISTANCE (20.11) in a Mix 5. Has the pace to be prominent. Has performed well from this box with a win and four minor placings to his name from eight starts. Leading chance. MR FRESH (8) turned spotting a big start finishing fourth (20.56) last time in a Mix 5 at this track. Solid record here winning nine races. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings 11 times from 17 attempts. Has ability and is one of the better chances. SOMERSET BLUEY (2) is worth another chance despite missing the top-three here most recently.

Strong performance after racing just off the speed to win by one length at this track over 366m (20.04) beating Out The Bottle in Mix 5 on April 8. Looks the one to beat again.

Improved sharply when third behind Dark Distance at this track last start over 366m (20.27). Gets back so might need a bit of luck.

Missed the frame latest (20.56) when fourth over 366m at this track in a Mix 5. Yet to win but has placed 11 times from this draw. Looks well placed and should feature.
